It has become apparent that bird densities in Iceland are related to the amount of aeolian deposition. More birds nest where there is a lot of dust (on vegetated systems), indicating more nutrient turnaround and fertility of such systems. Tomas Gretar Gunnarsson et al. (2015) published a paper on this in Ecology and Evolution, utilising the map from our dust research showing dust deposition in Iceland. This paper has drawn some attention in the "bird community"; see blog by Graham Appleton.
